A high-contrast serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and wedge-like, subtly bracketed serifs that create a sharp, carved impression. The letterforms are wide and generously proportioned, with strong vertical stems and crisp, tapered terminals on curves and diagonals. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while joins and crotches (notably in V/W and the diagonals) show a controlled, slightly calligraphic modulation. Numerals match the overall heft and contrast, with pointed terminals and firm, sculpted shapes that read as display-focused.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated at size. It works well for magazine/editorial layouts, brand marks and identity systems, premium packaging, and poster or title treatments that need a classic yet distinctive serif voice.
The font conveys a dramatic, editorial tone—confident, formal, and slightly theatrical. Its sharp wedges and sweeping contrast evoke a classical, engraved sensibility that feels premium and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-impact serif with a sculpted, flared finish—balancing classical cues with assertive display energy for prominent typographic moments.
The design emphasizes rhythmic thick–thin patterning and emphatic terminals, producing strong word shapes in headlines. The lowercase shows sturdy bowls and compact joins that keep the texture dense in continuous text, while the caps present a more monumental, poster-ready presence.
